THE SHEARING SHED

This week I took photos during shearing time on a farm located at Spring Flat. As soon as I walked into the shearing shed I was taken back to my own childhood, remembering the smell and sounds of my Grandfather’s shearing shed at Meroo. In this photo Henry Bagnell throws the fleece onto the wool table to be skirted and sorted before pressing and baling. On the floor beside the bench is his trusty sheep dog, and floating around the shed are Henry’s grandchildren exploring the shed just like I did in my Grandfather’s shed 30 years ago!
